And so it begins....

Officially today is Nov. 1st. Unofficially, it's the beginning of the Christmas season (jeez). It's like the cougar pouncing on the gazelle. I guess Thanksgiving is no longer a holiday at this point.
I really wish retailers would stop shoving Christmas down our throats in October, even before Halloween is over. Sign the groundhog saw his shadow, another 6 more weeks of Christmas.
Don't get me wrong I love Christmas, I would just like to celebrate it after we have Thanksgiving rather than before.
